Gregory Martin Moore


Gregory Martin Moore is an intellectual historian with a particular focus on German thought since the Enlightenment. He has written extensively on Nietzsche and on the philosophical reception of Darwinism; edited and translated into English major works by Herder and Fichte; and maintains a long-standing interest in Anglo-German cultural relations.

He is currently preparing a book, under contract with Princeton University Press, entitled Supermania: A History of the Übermensch from Nietzsche to Action Comics and developing, as an eventual promotional tie-in, an exclusive brand of extra-strong menthol candies.

At Georgia State University, where he has taught since 2012, he serves as the Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of History. He has a courtesy appointment in the Department of Philosophy. Prior to his current appointment, he taught German at Aberystwyth University and the University of St Andrews.

His performance as Eisenring in a production of Biedermann und die Brandstifter was once described as "soberly chilling" in the Leeds Student newspaper (6 March, 1992, p. 12).

His favorite neolithic henge monument is Avebury.
